Chloe and Max for life edition>Life is Strange(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don’t Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy, awkward photography student who discovers she can rewind time and—perhaps more urgently—that she’s very, very gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reunion with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their bond becomes the game’s pulsing queer core as they unravel the mystery of Rachel Amber’s disappearance. What begins as a teenage reconnection blooms into a messy, tender queer odyssey about grief, desire, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can't truly live without.LiS Series Steam Page https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36149206>Lost Records: Bloom & Rage(LR: B&R) – A spiritual successor to the original Life is Strange, made by Don’t Nod (DN). Set in Velvet Cove during the summer of 1995, it follows Swann Holloway and her chaotic, brilliant queer friends, Nora, Autumn, and Kat, as they form a band, fall recklessly in love, and try to carve out a space for themselves in a world that keeps trying to erase them. But something terrible cuts their youth short, and 27 years later, they return to face what was buried. It’s a hazy, haunted, heartbreakingly queer story about girlhood, memory, music, and the kind of love that doesn’t fade, even when everything else does.Steam Page : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1902960Discussion of the Lis Extended Universe, recently announced TV adaption, and other similar games is welcome!Reminder: Do not respond to tourists from /v/
Never done this before. But someone had to step up
Down for a day. Where did the baker go?
>>540578396It’s still so weird that they had Max and Chloe, two characters with name recognition and huge popularity, and just decided to throw it all away. I think Aysha might even be reading here, as strange as that sounds. She posted about all art coming from spite and horniness right around the time people here were talking about her horniness. You really are absurdly horny, Aysha. Just go make lewd games instead.
>>540579338
>>540578396No lost records posts. All is right in the world
>>540578396Once again, anon, all LiS games are listed in the OP - we keep bumping. OP stays the same - and the thread will die just like the last one
Who should play Max and Chloe in the show? And who will they racebend
>>540580382Chloe will be played by a mixed-race black girl, calling it now. I think a lot of characters will have their race changed. Charlie Covell is a British progressive, and every show she’s worked on has black characters everywhere. She even made a show about Greek gods where half of them were Black or brown. You should all watch it. Good idea, bad execution.
>>540580382Emma should play Max
>>540580254They are? LiS Series Steam Page. All of the games are there
>>540580382They will raceswap jeffersonimagine this kino
>>540580382Hopefully not a single one
Great mind think alike?

>>540582536Kek
>>540588820That's just sad. I've had a lot of good times here. Thanks for your work Alfie
>>540581096I hope not. I would sincerely hate that
https://youtu.be/uA44MMdDgHUPart 2 of Michel and Luc interview is out
>>540590234The first one was actually really good. I hope this is as good. A shame there is just one podcaster left in the LiS community. I miss Blackwell Podcast.
>>540580382The next Kate Marsh
>>540579987
>>540591023cute enough
>>540591023>>540591538Absolutely no
>>540590846Just go back four years and it was so much better. A lot of people dedicated to the game. Now it's dead. I hope the TV show will revive the franchise.
>>540591023Would be a great pick. Super cute
>>540591023Nice casting desu
>>>540515868This is what AI can do now
>Never believe that the anti Chloe trolls are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge.>But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Chloe have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.>They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
>>540594343Soulless
Lily Collias for Chloe?
>>540599409I swear, I’ve never seen an argument about Chloe that isn’t exaggerated or just plain wrong. The Chloe hate feels so forced and dumb.
>>540580254I kinda agree with this. All games should be represented. We’ve had enough of this dividing crap — the fandom’s barely hanging on as it is
>>540602307Not all games are made equally, as some are more half assed and shitty than others. Therefore, we should reject this mentality and just say fuck off to corporate cashgrabs
>>540603024just because you think one game's better doesn't mean anyone else gives a damn. so go ahead and enjoy watching this general die over and over again
>>540601087I could see that. Very few suggestions for Chloe for some reason
>>540602256Ironic since those arguing for Chloe are stuck in the same false dichotomy you present and/or are unable to remain objective.
>>540578396Reminder that LR is not a franchise game and is therefore off topic discussion. DE and LiS2 are franchise games despite baker trying to erase their existence because of seethe.>>540578610I hope they finally fucked off, but I willkeep posting my message til off topic slop is out of the OP.
>>540608020That bitch ran off again. Last two threads were already started by the next schizo
>>540601087That is Chloe!
>>540608020Nobody gave a shit to add LiS2 in years, why should we add DE now?
>>540602256No point in arguing with those people. Either they are too dumb to understand the story or they are just trolling. I just feel sorry for them
>>540608945Tbh I do feel lost records is kind of dying too. Not that much discussion about it
>Be Deck Nine>Get a contract with Square Enix to make LiS games>Make Before the Storm, a prequel centered around the popular character of Chloe Price and her relationship with Rachel Amber as told by the first game>It respect Chloe's character, with even a bonus DLC episode with her and Max as kids>Successful enough to grant them other works and grow as a company>Make Double Exposure, a sequel long requested by Square to cash on Max's nostalgia>Shat on Chloe's character development and her bond with Max, trying to replace her with D9's shallow OCs>It bombs so badly it starts a domino effect leading to D9's downfall as a gaming company>still contractually obligated to push out a DE2 despite crunch, lack of manpower, constant layoffs and the looming shutdown of the company
>>540608945All games should be included over a non franchise game.
>>540609147>Not that much discussion about itThere's absolutely no discussion about it
>>540613575There is more discussion that DE desu, and all the LR discussions aren't just "how this behind the scene dev drama happened" stuff
>>540611729Anon, they have already included the Steam page of all LiS games, but also my point still stand. Nobody included LiS2 and there was no big backlash into doing it, therefore DE can also be let in the bin of /lisg/ history
>>540613575And DE's still the most talked-about game here, which is kinda ironic. Even now, almost a year later, with a sequel basically confirmed
>>540614717LR grew fast, but it kind of slowed down. The reddit page is pretty dead at least. But it's true that it's way more alive than the DE reddit page.
>>540613575>>540615430in some threads, the only mention of lr is from that one anon who keeps reminding that it's not a franchise game, lol
>>540615430The quality of discussions is much worse. People are more interested in seeing how Deck Nine is going under than what kind of story DE2 will have, and those who engage with a little bit of it are either rabid coomers or do it for spite shitpost, not exactly great for keeping a franchise going foward
>>540616446Even by your description, which is far from accurate, it’s obvious people are way more invested in LiS franchise and everything around it than in that DN game, which, by the way, hasn't sparked any discussion in recent threads. Not meaningful, not even shallow. Only a pity mentions
Kind of ironic you get more meaningful discussions on lis and lr on /v/ than in here lmao
>>540616446But even the fans of DE don’t really discuss it. Just look at Reddit and other places, there’s no real conversation, just coomer art and comments about Safi and Max being hot. The people who dislike DE talk about it more, and even then it’s mostly about Chloe. The part that isn’t in DE ends up getting the most attention.
>>540578468You missed the link to the previous thread, but good work anon.>>540581952This. The Main, most important game is mentioned, with a link to the rest. If you wanted to include a bit about every single game in the series there wouldn't be room within the limit. And as others have said Lis2 was binned off for years without any real complaint, and thats a better game than DE.
>>540601087Lily and Emma kissing. Yeah, I would be down for that
>>540617913Well, I don’t really get what they were expecting. Chloe is a big part of the game, and for many players she’s alive. Removing her to favor the part of the fanbase that sacrificed her was a huge mistake. And if we can trust LadyDevHeart, the plan was never to include her in any meaningful way. I just don’t see what the game plan was. I still remember the interview Hannah did with Pickersgill while they were making the game, she was so negative about Chloe. The whole team clearly wanted her gone so they could just focus on Max and their OC characters.
>>540615037LR needs to be out of the OP. It is not Lost Records general.
Snora love.
>>540620054LR general died after 97 posts
DE did not even try

>>540623964>it wasn't us who created it. it was trolls and baysters. we didn't want, we just suffered
>>540624613>i didn’t want a general about a game i supposedly loveProving the point that LRfags only post out of spite for DE.
>>540619832Ngl, I think that was Hannah’s real opinion, and she thought she’d move on to a game series just about Max. But that’s not going to happen. I also think the remake will recast her with whoever plays Max in the tv series. No one won on DE.
>>540625423Don’t speak for other people, anon. You’ve got no clue what they thought or wanted
It's time to let /lisg/ go anons... It'll hurt, but it's time.
>>540625839I don’t need to speak for others. I can just let her words speak for themselves.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WExKd1bnQ9I&t=3383s
>>540625839>>540626018So Bay, Amberprice, Chloe and Max would never last and they are a bad match. Perfect match for Max is clearly Amanda in her words. What exactly is open for interpretation here?
>>540626018Timecode where she says she'd move on to a game series focused solely on Max?
>>540626789>Perfect match for Max is clearly Amanda
>>540623137>I am very smart
>>540626789Corporate fanfiction that flopped and was poorly received is not canon
>>540629856Sequel’s coming. TV-show’s coming. Nobody gives a shit about your tears. Fuck off
>>540630041>Sequel’s comingContractually obligates, also it will flop again and cement D9 fate as the new old Telltale in term of bad decisions>TV-show’s comingNobody knows if its going to be good, and even if it is there's no certain it will be a massive success >Nobody gives a shit about your tearsYou clearly do seem to care, a lot. Wish you also cared about the quality of the franchise rather than to see it turning into low IQ slop
>>540627478
>>540632152Soulless character of a flopped game
>>540626828It's just the natural path forward based on her own words. Chloe’s toxic, not for Max
>>540633964So you made it all up again. Got it.
>>540634445Will never understand you Hannah glazers
>>540601087She's brown haired though. It's not a huge thing. But Chloe is blond. Maybe if they dyed her hair
>>540641217Cute
>>540609251Based uncle from reddit
>>540626018This is a great interview. I like how he constantly gives her space to nuance her position, but she never takes it.
>>540625993No
>>540638286Hannah has always said whatever she thinks will get her more money. She's nice, but honestly the main person that actually seems to care about the series is Katy Benz.
>>540626018Is that you Safi anon? You can’t take Hannah seriously. She literally changes her opinion all the time. She doesn’t care at all. At first, she was a big fan of Warren and didn’t seem to notice any of the sapphic elements. Then she realized no one cared about Warren and switched her opinion. Don’t take it seriously. It’s just a job for her.
Look at those numbers. Warren/Nathan is at 6 percent! This fandom is so freaking gay
>>540649461The raw numbers, more or less.

>>540579338D9 and square deeply embarrassed themselves. But they weren't the only ones. Mal's series of tone deaf tweets were so bad she's been offline ever since. That dev promising they'd never do pricefielders wrong and to wait for the game. The marketing of the game was full of deceptions even by square teasing wait and see about Chloe being in a game before deleting the tweet. I wish Lis was a bigger franchise so moist critical would have covered it. The whole situation was one of the most shady things I've seen from square enix.
>>540676316And the insanely expensive dlc with a cat that lasts only a few minutes squares behavior and sale of this game was straight up diabolical don't get me started on the fan fave outfit being the most ugl outfit of the game
>>540676316>That dev promising they'd never do pricefielders wrong>The marketing of the game was full of deceptionsmedia literacy
>>540676967The marketing was not deceptive, it was marketed as a sequel to LiS about Max. You just tie Chloe to Max’s identity and can’t fathom that Max could not be with the girl she was close to a decade ago.
>>540659256Cute!
>>540676316It just felt so pointless. Why go out of their way to antagonize part of the fanbase? There were literally a million ways they could’ve handled it without upsetting people. They took very few risks with Double Exposure, but the ones they did take were massive and had almost no benefit. It shows irrational thinking, it wasn’t a good business decision.
Why is everything about Double Disappointment so horny? The art, the fan stories. Life imitates the game
>>540690396its got nothing else going for it but hot female characters
>>540690396The only thing I like about this art is how few likes it gets compared to Pricefield stuff, pic relatedIts also the only DE artist whos active and was reposted by the official account until they just stopped once they realized how few fanarts of DE there were
>>540691893explains the coomer spite posters kek
>>540681260It was deceptive, they had no problems in showing gameplay portions of the game in the Bay timeline but did not do the same for the other ending, because they likely knew it would have costed them preorder money if people realized what happened
>>540690396I don’t think Hag Max looks anything like the original Max. Max was 18 in LiS, pretty much done growing. Yet somehow she turned into a supermodel who now has her own harem. That’s the kind of fandom we’ve become.
>>540692525People taking care of themselves over the years isn't an impossible thing anon
>>540676967>>540681260>The marketing was not deceptive, it was marketed as a sequel to LiS about MaxThis.The promo stuff literally showed every single character that ended up in the game, and in one of the dev sitdowns they straight-up said Max came to Caledon to get a fresh start and leave all her past behind.>>540692243>they had no problems in showing gameplay portions of the game in the Bay timeline but did not do the same for the other endingThat's not true and you know it. They showed stuff from both endings.
>>540690396All of the love interests, future and present, and not a single one is white. That was by design.
>>540694467go back to /pol/, tourist
>>540692525DEtards aren't part of the fandom>straight-up said Max came to Caledon to get a fresh start and leave all her past behindYes, we know this was their attempt to soft reboot the franchise, and we have seen how it ended up >That's not true and you know it. They showed stuff from both endingsYou are such a stupid liar, they never showed or talked about Chloe in depth, and only when the game was close to relase, if they were honest about it they would have made clear what happpened to Chloe from the start. The reason they did not is because they knew it would have not been popular and costed them preorder money
>>540693940You completely missed that anon point desu They were talking about how Max was redesigned to be as more attractive as possible because D9 thinks hot lesbians MC = money rather than why people liked Life is Strange in the first place
>>540695082Guess you did too since there was nothing in that post that even suggested your overused gaslighting tactic.
>>540692525>>540695082You might want to get your eyes checked, fgt

>>540692525>>540695082The more comparisons you dig up, the clearer it is you're just a fucking idiot
>>540695852That looks like Max
>>540694839>YesSo I was right. They said it and you heard it.>You are such a stupid liarAnon, the breakdowns from here are in the archives, on Reddit, wherever you look. I even wrote a big post here after that 18-minute gameplay video.
>>540696974>>540695946You seem like you are seething anon, please touch grass, PFs do not live in your head

>>540697832She really is doing more than SE to keep the fandom alive.
>>540697634No one brought up Pricefielders anon. Don't gaslight yourself
>>540698713you seethe
>>540698660Good turnout. Katy should be a CM but with less corpo intrusion of course
>>540694839The person you’re arguing with isn’t arguing in good faith. But it’s worth noting that the problem with any sequel is that people who picked Bay don’t care about Chloe. So they’re constantly surprised that not everyone thinks that way, which just shows a lack of ability to see things from other perspectives.
>>540697832Such a wasted opportunity that Gabe had to die, IMO a LiS2 style game with him as Alex as the brother-sister bond would have been kino
>>540699021The irony is palpable
>>540700541SOVL
>>540699021Anon, they talked about two specific things: 'Did they say pre-release that she came to start fresh and forget the past?' and 'Did the promo show stuff from both endings?' - the answer to both is yes. What does bad faith or caring about someone even have to do with this? You just wanted to see what you wanted and ignore what you didn't like. And now you're trying to blame others for not viewing things through your personal lens
>>540701161> 'Did they say pre-release that she came to start fresh and forget the past?'Because DE was set up to be as a soft reboot of the franchise, except it likely killed DE and hurt it more than anything else. That's why they were also harping on not needing to play the original game to experience DE, when in reality new players would have been very confused by it anyway>'Did the promo show stuff from both endings?'It did not. They showed a lot of gameplay section with the telescope but always in Bay, and only vaguely they showed that pic of Max and Chloe in the desert, because if they were honest from the start by showing a full on view on what happened if you saved Chloe, it would have hurt their sweet preorders.
>>540649461>Chloe x Rachel 18%>Chloe x Rachel 4%so which one is it kek

>>540700541Kino
Not today.
>>540709501Kind of goes without saying. I’d be really interested to hear how anyone here thinks the story will play out in the next game?
What exactly is Square Enix’s plan? They have the show coming up, and if they play their cards right, it could revive the series like never before. But right now, they’re doing nothing. For the 10-year anniversary, nothing. Special occasions, like Max’s birthday, nothing. They don’t promote the games at all. Have they given up? Just waiting for the show and hoping for a fresh start or what?
>>540736328They only have about 1000 employees, anon. They’re too busy losing money and pretending to work.
As expected. Just hint she's in the sequel and Pissfielders come crawling out. Suddenly they're all actually interested
>>540736641They have Killer Inn, they are barely advertising the game and still has no relase date but I'm sure those 50 members on the game subreddit will surely help out SE London kekIn all seriousness, why hasn't Kiryu the boss from Japan even fired those morons out? SE is carried by FF, KH, Dragon Quest and Nier more than all those half assed attempts at chasing the western market, they are a losing arm of a otherwise grounded company
>>540736940Severe case of pavlov's dog
>>540736328DE2 is probably still happening, but it feels like they’re bracing for it to flop. Marketing will likely be minimal, especially if Chloe isn’t in it (going off LDH). They posted nothing for Max’s birthday, which was kind of strange. Who knows what they'll do for the 10th anniversary.
>>540736328>Have they given up?Yes.They wrote themselves into a direction a large segment of the fanbase rejected, didn't get the new/lapsed fans they were hoping for, and laid off the entire narrative team, so they're likely locked in on the story for DE2. You'll get a shitty trailer a month before launch and you can take it or leave it.
>>540740224you don't say
>>540744619Not to mention at this point SE must know Deck9 is not surviving after DE2 is out, and that will negatively impact the franchise going foward. By the time the show get shot and actually comes out, likely between 2027 or 2028, most of the fandom won't be really eager to give it a chance regardless of quality
>>540747268Who's going to make the remake then?
>>540748508Any guesses here?
>>540735971two worlds present caledon and past caledonowls are not what they seem, twicesafi romance and swim in lake at nightfujiwhara effectfebruary
>>540750817That's oddly specific
>>540748508new company or square enix themselves!
>>540589930thing is, he abandoned not just lis OPs, but all of the other ones he had too
>>540750817Gonna take a screenshot of this. Just in case
>>540750817Now that Max knows you can stop a tornado by going inside and solving puzzles, the only way to raise the stakes is to have two tornadoes for more difficult puzzles.
>>540625993There's still more to come. It's a slim chance the tv series will be good but it might surprise us
>>540750817Very obvious bullshit, but I appreciate the effort
>>540756426>new companylikely>Square Enix themselves too much effort, they aren't Microsoft who made brand studios to continue Halo or Gears
>>540694309>The promo stuff literally showed every single character that ended up in the game, and in one of the dev sitdowns they straight-up said Max came to Caledon to get a fresh start and leave all her past behind.Ye and no. Over on the subReddit I did say often that I think the marketing is honest and they broke up Pricefield. Sadly I was right.But there is such a thing as a lie of omission and they intentionally didn't talk about Chloe to keep the false hopes alive.
>>540695271Ypu can they have made some changes to Max's face to make her look more Hannah Telle for easier performance capture. Max in DE has different cheek bones for example
>>540694309The Promo also heavily promoted it as a murder mystery, with suspect profiles for most characters.Shit. It would have been better if it played out like a game of Cluedo. You just gather info by talking and snooping, then point the finger towards the end and get a final chapter based on choices.
>>540767885>The Promo also heavily promoted it as a murder mystery, with suspect profiles for most charactersThey didn't just did that with those spoiler videos, they also promoted some dumb podcast to figure it out the murder mistery aspect like it meant something and those who run it acted like it was some deep thing
>>540763936Whenever they did show anything, it was always from Bay’s perspective, and the conversation was always about Bay. The game was clearly meant to be a Bay game, so it’s more than just a lie of omission. Otherwise, I agree.
>>540768875They also made an RPG murder mystery game, which was abandoned the moment DE came out. It was weird, like two parts of SE weren’t even talking to one and other, and one side thought the game really was a murder mystery.
>>540769137No way they did that, seriously?

>>540771582I'm sure somebody on Uncle Hangout spoke to one of them about it and they were told it was supposed to be longer, but they just never got another session given.
>>540814162It's pretty meta. They stopped trying after two episodes, just like DE.
>>540814162After watching it, that does seem to be the case. I kind of liked it. Not sure how it was related in any way to the game, but not bad.
>>540775173Kino, but Daz is shit, you would be better off with Blender
>>540774160People in general don't give a shit about Caledon, or the other DE characters. When they do, it's only for coom reasons
>>540816381You’ve got an unhealthy obsession with coomers. Seek help
>>540771582this is where rest of ep5 & ep4 budget went into btw, fuck you Joshua and Izzy
>>540815232I think the idea is to tie it with Safi roaming about looking for other metahumans. We'll just have to see if that ever pans out though.
>>540698660mind you, Erika's full blown HR at deck nine (check her linkedin)>>540698958Joshua & Tobi are like the biggest nepotism case at SE
>>540803427yeah, it's hilarious watching these morons finally discover content that's been sitting on all the official accounts since before launch
>>540580382This (apparently retired) tick tocker
>>540818572It has like 2500 views. No one really watched it
>>540774160It was probably planned a long time ago. It’s just another example of how they were going to reboot the whole thing and build it around Caledon and its characters. But with all the rewrites and poor communication inside SE, it’s not unlikely that the book has extra or even contradictory information.I think it will sell poorly
>>540817696Except there's no interest for Safi's xmen plotline, LiS is not capeshit and I doubt there's much interest for that. >>540818572Can you blame them? It's not their fault Square wasted money on stuff that really didn't amount to anything concrete for the game>>540817946>Erika's full blown HR at deck nineShe's more of an actor than HR, her Linkedin states her as self employed>>540819436>I think it will sell poorlyThey know that but it's too late to shelve it.
>>5408191087,500 actually. But you’re so dumb that even one-click search is too much for you. Forget digging up anything useful
>>540821287https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u4j8TAaI7cA&t=30sPlease do your parents a kindness and move out. Your too old to live at home
>>540821919https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHzvKEIWeVQDo us all a favor and vanish forever, you absolute clown
>>540822373Take your pills, move out and get a job. It's time to give your parents some rest.
>>540822373>>540822373Not a lot of people watched it. That's basically the point. And they dropped it.
We got it, SE wasted money on a podcast that people barely remembers now because it amounted on nothing and lasted only two episodes, can we move on now?
>>540821287>>540822373here's the full rpg stat sheet. saying nobody knew about it is total bs. the posts with it are packed with seething comments from familiar usernames>>540822851dude, you've clearly got something wrong upstairs. you just got publicly humiliated again, and instead of owning up, you're back to overcompensating like a clown
>>540823279You seem to be seething, over something no one cares about.
>>540823279Unhinged two moons fanboy
>>540823279All those views, and yet nobody even cared afterward, seems like a bubble that popped out
>>540823562i went through the discussion and looked into it. that was my first comment today, so chill
>>540823660>>540823813Here we go
>>540823279It's been brought up in the general a few times but the seethers always willfully ignore it of course. Don't worry about it.
>>540824050You are not acting very chill and unless you spend time on social media you would easily miss this little thing
>>540825315Not many times, because it barely was mentioned and in the larger scheme of things, those are inconsequential. I'm more interested in see how many people will D9 fire before they collapse that an half assed podcast that was rightfully let to the dust of time
>>540824057
>>540825315NTA, but this reminded me of that one anon who couldn't accept that Max lives with Amanda in the original timeline. I even saved screenshots of her mental gymnastics. Took three whole threads for her to go from full denial to writing a whole-ass post admitting it's true, but still hating the game anyway.And now we've gone from 'no one really saw it' to 'all those views but nobody cared' in just a couple hours. Honestly, that's solid progress for people with their level of brainpower.
>>540826287Probably will head into "DE wasn't so bad" territory eventually. Their seething would be more justified if they actually played the game. From what I observed it's just the usual watched on youtube and parroting someone else's opinion.
>>540825708They are going to close right after they publish their train wreck of a game. There is just no way they next game can sell enough to save them. 40 percent of the people who bought DE will probably not buy the next one.
>>540826287>>540826538What's the point of all of that? I haven't seen nobody in the fandom post DE brought up that podcast thing until now, because despite the good views for them it basically fell flat and none of what they were discussing mattered. Same with the "Amanda lives with Max" shit, why people would care about that? The game is a flop and the worst LiS in the series as well as a desperate cashgrab, revisionist history is not going to change that.
>>540826907Its the same person commenting the same old story over and over. I have no idea how he keeps it up. I went away for months, and he is still doing it. He must have no life.
>>540828059I think they are more than one anon, but they always act in tandem, one with the leading statements and the other one bootlicking. You can tell they don't believe a single shit of what they say nor they even seem to care or engage further beyond than to shit on a few people here
>>540828321One person I can understand, sad as it is. Two is a tragedy for all of humanity.
>>540826287>you will understand the nature of max's powers if you collect every collectiblesaid stauder at some point, but I still do not understand jackshit
>>540820674>She's more of an actor than HR, her Linkedin states her as self employedI still find it interesting that she mocapped 'Dark Max', if Hannah wouldnt have gotten the role back, Erika wouldve voice Max Caulfield for sure
>>540830873>I still do not understand jackshitAdnan-level brainpower
>>540828059>>540828321
>>540831157yea explain it mr powerbrain, why did max get her powers, explain the true nature of lis powers since that was the bias marketing stauder lied about
>>540830873Stauder said a lot of bullshit to try and sell the game, and he was bitter about how it got received
>>540826538Doubt it, anon. The pattern's always the same - they break the moment they realize everything they were told was true. Then it's the usual screeching: "What’s the point anyway? Game flopped, no one cares," etc.I gave one example, today's RPG copefest was another. Next time they get hit with facts, it’ll play out the same.
>>540831017Hannah did have to audition. Maybe that was the plan. It would have been weird with a new voice. But Erika has a really sweet voice
>>540833075Stauder seemed really delusional.
>>540833714She is really cute and engages with the fan base too. It would have been so weird with a new voice. But she would have been a great choice!
>>540833618>look, D9 wanted Max to live happily in Amanda in this collectible photo timelineIts true sure, but it doesn't matter. DE flopped, the fandom only talks about the shit that happened behind the scenes more than the game itself, they do not generally care apart from a few defenders, and the RPG thing was a nothingburger that in the grand scheme of things it really did not changed things.You act like you were to point out that Concord had a special PS5 controller and a full animated episode that came out after it was removed from stores is an own kek
>>540833618It's just a shame they'd rather talk about really uninteresting behind the scenes drama and flop this flop that, fan art this fan art that rather than the actual games themselves and the various media surrounding it. Can't be helped when you've got the likes of ds9trek, mazzu, frank and lingyao hiding behind anonymity here attacking anyone that isn't regurgitating anything from the usual echochambers.
>>540834889Why should I give two shit about the story? All the writers have been fired and the rest is trying to fix it throught Chat GPT You are just here seething thinking DEfenders are the silent majority, while in reality the true silent majority is not going to care about a DE2 in enough numbers to save it from flop>>540834286Erika is really talented, she really should get more jobs as a VA in the industry going foward
>>540835353Tiring talking points, talk about something else for once.
>>540831017>I still find it interesting that she mocapped 'Dark Max'Just a small part, when Hannah was absent. Most of Dark Max was mocapped by Hannah, action scenes were done by a guy.>if Hannah wouldnt have gotten the role back, Erika wouldve voice Max Caulfield for sureYou're just making stuff up
>>540835706>You're just making stuff upThey are just speculating, calm your tits>>540835568Let's talk about Lost Records then. DN's new financials should come next month, and I'm hoping they will move foward with a new entry or not, as realistically it can be their own Dark Picture anthology if they play their cards straight
>>540835883>Let's talk about Lost Records thenI'd like to, but not with you. Thanks.
>>540823813>>540835537>>540835697I hope Chloe's got that towel stockpile ready, lol
>>540834527The next game will flop even more. It's honestly sad how dumb they ended up being about Double Exposure.I would guess next game is at Caledon, and it's another round of two timelines and everyone is back. No characters from Arcadia Bay. Not sure what the divide will be. Something Safi does maybe?
>>540843756I think one of the interviews Stauder and Kuan made it seems like the two timelines was a one thing done for DE, and honestly I don't have any idea what they could do. Reusing the rewind mechanic? The scrapped Aperture camera thing? But I doubt it's going to be something very polished if they have been crunched for two years in developing a game that required four of development
>>540835883>They are just speculatingthat's their ceiling, yeah>Let's talk about Lost Records thenwhy should I care? the game flopped, blah-blah-blah
>>540844486See, you don't care about anything. You only use DE to spite post, and since it's not as loved as LR you get mad like the little bitch you are
>>540846613>quoted exactly what he said about DE, just swapped it for LRyou're spectacularly dumb, holy shit
>>540847569You seethe
>>540844253But it doesn’t make much sense to change it, using the same one again would save both time and money, and they don’t have a lot of either for the next game.
>>540851479Making a sequel to a commercial flop that has been a disaster with its reception without any substantial change also doesn't make much sense, but that's what they're seemingly going to do
>>540750817Any chance those 2 (even 3) scenes that were fully mocapped for DE but cut last-minute (you know what I'm talking about) are coming back in the sequel? Thanks>>540763123Hello again, 'you have no proof' clown
>>540852780Apparently being skeptical of whatever is said here without proper backing up is now being a "clown" Grow some pair and show evidence if you have any rather than vaguepost
>>540857574
>>540859401Kek
>>540861278>>540861751Why dolls?
>>540853152>being skepticalYeah, just don't stop now, champ.Ever since that fatso Joyce's ring theorist vanished, you've claimed the schizo crown
>>540863389Anon, you can either show proper sources like that anon who digged through linkedin or the one who found out Hannah's place, or shut up if you don't want to pass for another of those fake greentext posts
>>540852780>Any chance those 2 (even 3) scenes that were fully mocapped for DE but cut last-minute (you know what I'm talking about) are coming back in the sequel? Thanksyou mean the nightmare crap of vinh wanting to jump off the balcony? gosh I wish dude
>>540866295>mmh what if we copied Kate's emotional moment but with a sex obsessed weirdobravo Aysha
>>540834889>ds9trek, mazzu, frank and lingyaothe seethe from these balding uncles is peak entertainment.mazzu’s recent revelation about the coomer artist named hydra was pure gold>>540863389kekat this point the only ones who haven't publicly wrecked him are the ones too lazy to bother. survey-anon, geo-anon, anon mining the code - all took turns
>>540866626I will drop the hint for the weirdos that say that they datamined this game and found some grandious unused Amanda scene, it doesnt exist. What exists however are cinematic notes include the Vinh nightmare section:>Max steps through fog into Moses's office, coming up short at the sight that the world around her has changed again. She lets out a breath of consternation, before seeing Reggie curled up on the ground with his back to a worktable. As she comes closer, he looks up.>Max hurries forward, helping him up.>(shaky smile)>He looks up over her head. Max follows his gaze, noting the wall covered in mirrors and the car with the cow skull rammed upright in the stairs.>Vinh is standing on the loft, pacing like an animal back and forth in front of the balcony.>As they watch, Vinh notices her.>(shouting)>He leans dangerously far out over the balcony.>Max and Reggie both react like they're afraid he's going to jump. They relax when he doesn't.>Max watches over her shoulder as Vinh keeps muttering and walks away from the balcony.I won't tell anything else, but fuck you vinh stan as per usual!
>>540866764>mazzu’s recent revelation about the coomer artist named hydra was pure goldhe kinda echoed this since hydra reveal and wont stop talking about it, now we know who was the coomer anon and he should continue posting based canon roachyl material
any good fanfics? 18+ are okay
>>540866764>survey-anonNone of the anon here spilled what they said at the survey, only compiled the online review thing and that's were the mention of a possible remake was set>geo-anonOnly anon to actually do some homework and to have seemingly contacted two people who went there, unlike you>anon mining the codeThey pointed out DE was full of script code and voicelines that shouldn't have been there when the early access dropped, and Square was desperate to delete threads and post even if they fucked up in the first place to have them in the gameSo obsessed with some imaginary enemies that you look weird as fuck anon. But I agree that D9trek is a moron who drink whatever bullshit is said there, not even mazuu or the russian dude are that stupid
>>540866764>anon mining the codewe actually have an sort of an issue, I lack ue5 modding knowledge, but I found out recently that they included a lot of debug functions in game, its just disabled, but still in, I assume its either binded to launch exe config or actual config being set to 'test' (I know about your chronos virtual build SE...)
>>540866764How sad your life must be, spinning delusional ideas about “owning” people online with barely coherent arguments on repeat.
>>540866891wtf they were smoking with this?
>>540867902Just let them go anon, they can't actually function like normal human beings. One would think that since SE and D9 has turned the franchise into a cesspool, they would be the real common enemy, and yet we waste time with petty shit like Mazzu, Cada or whatever else roam free in the heads of the other anon
>>540867610Unless I'm delusional there were unused Amanda voice lines in the datamined stuff that was posted here. I heard it at least.
So do they just not put the original on sale anymore? I was going to try it out but I guess they want me to buy the remake instead? It's the same price
>>540835883>Let's talk about Lost Records thenNo, that’s off topic discussion. Make your general, this one is about Life is Strange.
>>540868726buy original, less bugs than the remastered
>>540868726It's also on GOG which means it's free
>>540869143Don't care, elope
>>540868726>greenmangaming>official partner of SEanon, you can get proper discounts at trusted 3rd parties, its how I pre-ordered ultimate for 50$
>>540852780Not really. Timecop comes back with a vengeance. Because his mama's mind couldn't take the double memories and became crazy.Powers have consequences, yay?
>>540869525did Michel ever comment about the shadows or anything concretely at all about the abyss? I fell out of the loop after the arg ended (& that felt going nowhere too - also aislop videos in that arg)
>>540869865I don't think they did. But underused, story wise
>>540869865Think of the shadow as like Fight Club, in which Edward Norton's character start to see Tyler Durden flashes before he even appears They are a sign of all the people that are trapped in the Abyss, which are Kat, Corey and Swann
>>540870840I hate dontnod for just re-using the same plotdevice in the next one I guess and no returning characters to not "rob us out of our canon"
>>540870980IMO it's a lot more annoying Swann ending up in the Abyss no matter which ending you got or what kind of bond you had with Kat It's ok to have Kat be a recurring character next but this was a fake step by them to do so
>>540871319I suppose, since they didnt do much variety in the endings, that must mean they have plans to continue in a single linear path (like DE), but dn wont disappointed because they didnt do much dynamic ending bullshit
Whenever LR gets dragged out of the grave, you know the DE updates pushed them into full seething mode. Time to bleed off the pressure
>>540869525>elopeLike Chloe and Max did with Joyce’s ring? Oh wait.
>>540871729Every ending was dynamic though. They have a lot of choices to choose from e.g. who actually pushed Corey, if Swann ended up alone, Pam and Gus ending up together etc. The only annoying aspect is if they do an anthology first, we won't see the effects of these choices, unless they're in the background, until a direct sequel ever gets made. Maybe the best we'll get is a look see of "what ifs" if they decide The Abyss and maybe the woods are temporal/dimensional portals of sorts like how both the ARG and game imply.
>>540873337>Like Chloe and Max did with Joyce’s ring?Yes
>>540871729they don't want to be constrained by a single set of characters each game but they have to work with DNs limited budget, that's why having Swann falling down the Abyss was unecessary in this environment, as just keeping Kat as the main person into the Abyss is more than enough, and they were lucky she was well received by the new fansbut they aren't fully going the DE route. They are going to introduce new characters but likely keep some older recurring ones like either Gus, Dylan or Pam as to keep continuity if their plan is a shared series of games
>>540873592Guess we'll see if we get a new game. But I do think the Abyss still act upon some sort of past, present and future consciousness, as it ties with the people that fall into it or use it for their own gain like Kat does
>>540872186The only one who's seething is you anon, seek help please
>>540867610NTA,>survey-anonBack in february said the sequel was locked in, D9's still on it, promo push incoming, Hannah stays the face and goes on tour. A month later, exactly as they said, things started moving, Hannah hit London first, then somewhere else, forgot where. They also mentioned some locations and characters, and judging by what we know now, they nailed those too>geo-anonDebunked her winter Insta pics, tracked two people from the focus groups and talked to them, confirmed Hannah in Colorado in March, double-checked with locals, found the spot they're all staying at in July. Based on the pics, they even pinpointed in-game locations. Also they told you to fuck off >anon mining the codeCurrently humiliating you by pulling stuff from the files you couldn't even begin to parseCan't remember if you screeched that it was all unproven, but it's clear you're either not keeping up or you're just seething
>>540867367No grave can hold my body down, Ouroboros and Recursion are all good
>>540875931What I find weird about Hannah being at D9 so much is that no one else is there. Olivia who is playing Safi was just there that one time, and she was there for a short time. All of the rest of the actors are busy. Based on the stuff they post on social media.Was it all made earlier? Is all of the voice recording done
>>540876805I wish lis was like 12 monkeys
>>540877374why do you think Webb got fired in july/early august, they wrapped mocapping
>>540875931This still doesn't change the fact the next is a rushed piece of shit and they really haven't done that much marketing push post DE either. But I'm curious about the anon who tracked down Hannah, he seemed serious in thinking that Rihanna's Chloe will have a small appareance too
>>540879612bc Rhianna was seen involved with d9 treasurer and Alderman's voice actor (which also is some d9 employee) at some charity party
>>540877823That makes perfect sense when you mention it. But I still struggle with understanding who will be in the game then. Because Safi was clearly suppose to a big part of the game, but her voice actor was not in Denver, she was in New York. Neither was the voice actors of Gwen or Yasmin. It was a bit harder to track the rest, because they live in Denver. And no one from the old Arcadia Bay cast was anywhere close to Denver.
>>540880687there are hints throughout the game on who stays for DE 2 and who departs (Vinh googling actor castings was an intentional detail)
>>540875931>sequel was locked ingood luck selling a sequel with no directors or changes based on feedback>D9's still on itgoing to lose their job soon judging by LDH>promo push incominga very underwhelming one, as they know it's going to flop anyway so no more marketing money>Hannah stays the face and goes on tourno shit sherlock, that was obvious>They also mentioned some locations and characters, and judging by what we know now, they nailed those tooShow actual screenshots and prove them anon. But assuming you are telling the truth, they are still going to sell a sequel of a flopped and insuccessful soft reboot with a mostly mixed to hostile audience kek>humiliating you by pulling stuff from the filesnone of the DE files tells stuff about a sequel, only that they cut a shitload of stuff as expected from a game rewritten four timesalso stop acting like kids jealous of their own toys our enemy is SE not mazu or cada
>>540880985Might have missed a few details then. But I do feel like the story of Safi will be weird to tell without Gwen and Yasmin.
>>540880985Why should we care on who stays? It's not like people are so eager to see Safi, Moses, Vinh or Amanda again
>>540880985thanks, cada
>>540882086Fixed
>>540881886No doubt about it. D9 is fucked. But we can still wonder what will happen in the next game
>>540876805I am willing to say, although I don't remember if this is correct, but I hated ouroboros ( or however it is written).If I recall correctly it turned out to be a cringefest.But it might be the case that I am mistaking it for a different fanfic.Recursion is quite good though.Oh my, it's been so long since I've read some good fanfic. I guess I should get back into one. Can't recall the name... There was something about Shaun Prescott having a team of other 'superheroes' working against Max and Chloe? Maybe someone can remind me what that fanfic title was.
>>540882086That pretty much sums up the conversation
>>540882965Somehow I have a feeling that we'll all turn out to be terribly wrong with our guesses.
>>540881886>our enemy is SE not mazu or cadaNah nah, shipper. We're here for your tears
>>540883547Anon, we will be quite wrong but that's because we aren't D9 writers, usually our predictions turn out to be a lot more smarter than what they made in the game
>>540884008That is what I meant. We will be sorely disappointed
>>540884008>our predictions turn out to be a lot more smarter>joyce's ring theory>chloe-coded mural>character swap theory
>>540883834No delusions from me anon, I'm fully aware the next game is going to be dogshit but I'm glad to see some catharsis happening with D9 going under, lets enjoy the shitshow once normies found out the intern who replaced Johnny and Felice is a chud too
>>540884378You seem obsessed anon, not even the other person who brought up that ring theory is that stung up. Does it make you feel better? Does it make your dick hard? You seem like those publicity bots that spam crap through thousand of different accounts with stolen pics
Michel still trying to get Pricefielders to buy Lost Records. Remember me guys. Buy my new game. I did. It was a 6-7. I was expecting so much more.
>>540884191You can't be disappointed if you weren't that excited to begin with
>>540884448Why do you always pick fights with the most irrelevant or useless targets? I’m being absolutely serious here, no bait. It’s been clear as day for a while now — D9 has zero autonomy, Stauder was hired two years after all major decisions were locked in, and Kuan’s a spineless yes-woman who couldn’t push back on SE even if her life depended on it.What’s the thrill in beating a nobody?
>>540885646I’ve had it explained to me differently. It’s the developers who pitch ideas, and Square Enix either approves or rejects them. So you can’t say it’s only Square Enix.
